St. Petersburg looks like a really cool city.

I was in Moscow for like 8 hours a couple of months ago, it didn't look anywhere near as nice as St. Petersburg.
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I ALMOST like the flag on the fo'c'sle in the bottom pic. (whistlin' "Dixie"!)

It's an old Imperial navy "jack", stern flag in harbour. Soviet "jack" was red with a big yellow star in the middle, with hammer and a sickle inside.

Now they use old Russian navy flags again.
